“We didn’t want to leave.” — Jeff, Missouri

Is this a good fit for families?2026-03-31T16:12:54+00:00

Absolutely. Many families stay here and love the space to explore, the creek, and the games and amenities inside the home.

Is the property private?2026-03-31T16:12:33+00:00

Yes — the cabin sits on private land with plenty of space and natural surroundings. While there are a few homes in the broader area, it feels quiet and removed.

What makes Serenity House different from other rentals?2026-03-31T16:19:33+00:00

Serenity House is a private, creekside retreat on 5 acres designed for rest, connection, and a slower pace. It’s quiet, secluded, and intentionally not a typical “in-town” stay.

Where is Serenity House located?2026-03-31T01:33:45+00:00

We’re located in Florissant, Colorado — about:

  • 15 minutes to Paradise Cove (Guffey Gorge)
  • 25 minutes to Cripple Creek
  • 20 minutes to Florissant Fossil Beds
  • About 1 hour from Colorado Springs
Is the cabin easy to get to?2026-03-31T01:34:18+00:00

Yes, but it is in a rural mountain area. The final stretch includes a dirt road, which is common for properties like this.

Do I need 4WD or AWD?2026-03-31T01:37:54+00:00

County-maintained roads make access straightforward, and most vehicles do just fine. In winter, AWD/4WD may provide extra peace of mind, depending on conditions.

Is there cell service?2026-03-31T16:02:39+00:00

Cell service is minimal — part of what makes the property feel so peaceful. However, most phones support WiFi calling when connected to our Starlink network, so you can still make calls and stay connected if needed.

Is there WiFi?2026-03-31T01:43:12+00:00

Yes — we provide Starlink WiFi, which works well for general use, streaming, and staying connected if needed.

Is the kitchen fully stocked?2026-03-31T01:43:53+00:00

Yes — the kitchen includes cookware, utensils, basic spices, and essentials to prepare meals during your stay.

Is there air conditioning?2026-03-31T01:44:29+00:00

There is no traditional A/C. The mountain climate stays mild, especially in the evenings, and fans are provided.

Is the home suitable for guests with mobility issues?2026-03-31T01:45:04+00:00

The home has multiple levels and stairs, and the surrounding terrain is natural and uneven, so it may not be ideal for those with mobility limitations.

Are there animals or wildlife around the property?2026-03-31T01:45:54+00:00

Yes — this is part of the experience. Guests often see deer, birds, and other wildlife. Occasionally, you may encounter insects or other natural elements of a mountain environment.

Is the creek accessible?2026-03-31T15:02:26+00:00

Yes — the creek is easily accessible and a highlight of the property. There’s a small pebble beach with a picnic bench and chairs, perfect for relaxing, exploring, or letting kids play.

What time is check-in and check-out?2026-03-31T15:05:50+00:00

Check-in is between 4:00 PM and 10:00 PM, and check-out is at 10:00 AM. Full arrival instructions will be provided after booking.

Do you allow parties or events?2026-03-31T15:06:20+00:00

No — Serenity House is a peaceful, no-party environment intended for quiet stays.

Can I book directly instead of through Airbnb or Vrbo?2026-03-31T15:06:52+00:00

Is there laundry available?2026-03-31T15:50:37+00:00

There is a washer and dryer available for light use. Because the home is on a well, we ask guests to use it sparingly.

Is smoking allowed?2026-03-31T15:52:26+00:00

Smoking is allowed outside only. Due to dry conditions and wildfire risk, we ask guests to be extremely cautious and dispose of materials properly.

Are there things to do nearby?2026-03-31T15:55:27+00:00
